Hey guys, I’m here with my student, Xiomara Crystal. How do you spell that again, by the way?
X-I-O! And were going to take on a Bon Jovi piece, Wanted - Dead or Alive. Now, I
have my version on YouTube, but we decided to do a female version. We’re going to do
what we always do, we’re going to do it first, we’re going to talk about it after,
and if you’re ready to rock this? I am! Let’s do it! Yes! All right!
Bon Jovi, Wanted Dead or Alive… You're going to be wanted dead or alive…
Yeah! That’s what I’m talking about. Good Job. Cool! All right! Well, here we have another excellent
vocal demonstration. Now, the difference of the last tune that we just did, what was the last tune we did?
Aerosmith. Aerosmith Crying, that’s right. And we took on a Steven Tyler piece,
so there was a little bit of vocal timbre in that. This is more about telling
a story, which is actually really cool, and it’s kind of slowing things down a little
bit. Now, “Won-tehhhhd!”, You know, it’s like the middle America country thing going
on there, too… which we love, but the other thing about this that’s really interesting
and correct me if I’m wrong… If you were to think about the difference between Jon Bon Jovi
and Steven Tyler, what would that be? Ooooh. Put you on the spot! I think Jon Bon Jovi
is more of a storyteller, maybe in the sense that it’s slower, more languid in
how he explains songs and, yeah… Cool! And that’s exactly what I would say, so, you’re
dealing more with a singer-songwriter in the case of by John Bon Jovi. So, you’re not
worrying so much about all the crazy, hard, difficult licks of someone like a Steven Tyler.
You’re more worried about the the story, telling a story. That’s not to say that
Steven Tyler doesn’t tell the story. The other thing is, too… By the way, we
cover all this in my singing course,”How To Sing Better Than Anyone Else”, if you
guys are interested, you can click here and check it out… And join our singer’s forums,
man, there’s over, almost 7000 people in there right now discussing How To Sing Better
Than Anyone Else. And we’ve got people like Xio, who is doing the Masters course. She’s
been doing it over about a year and a half right now… Something like that, right? A
little over a year? A few months… Has it only been a few months? Come on, seven, eight
months? No. Okay, well, cool! She’s thrown down really hard in about six months, or seven
months… Which is awesome, she flew to California to do the course, and then she flew to Hawaii
again to finish her apprenticeship program, to get this stuff done. So, if you guys are
interested you can check out Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy dot com, and we appreciate having
you. And, until next time, rock and roll… Rock on… Peace. Out.
